The Brethren here are desirous of having it made public , that they request English , and Masons of all countries , to visit the Lodge , en passant . The certificate or diploma is , however , necessary for admission .
HAMBURGH . —The Most Worshipful the Provincial Grantl Master Bro . J . G . Maltey , of this city , makes known that lately three separate certificates of Freemasons , purporting to be of the Royal York Lodge of Berlin , held at Hamburgh , with names inserted , have come before him .

a distinguished member of the M . W . Grand Lodge of England , our representative thereat . Regulations adopted to regulate the payment from Lodges in arrear . A report from the Grand Secretary , relating to the mission to the United States and to Europe , observes among other matters—That the Grand Lodge of New York was not in session at the time of his visit , but that the honour of a public Masonic entertainment was
conferred on him as the representative of Texas , and that Bro . Herring , in particular , rendered much valuable assistance . That when in England , he had the honour of submitting to the M . W . G . Master , PL R , H- the Duke of Sussex , his commission , at a long and interesting interview , when the proposal of exchange of representatives was agreed on , and he was assured that whenever the G . L . of Texas appointed its representative at the G . L . of England , that some
Brother resilient in Texas would in like manner be appointed to represent the G . L . of England ; aud that in consequence he had recommended the appointment of Bro . It . Lea Wilson , in accordance with which , the commission letter of credence and instruction had been forwarded . Some observations follow respecting discipline , practice , clothing , & c , in which some arrangements are suggested , in close analogy with the English Constitution .
